Drone warfare is unlawful

In Mr. Reggie's recent letter about immigration, he wrote the Republicans only wanted to help (undocumented residents) in order for them to receive their votes, implying Democrats want to help for altruistic reasons. Let's make it easier for them to become citizens. As a requirement for citizenship, however, we don't let them vote or get government benefits for five years. We will then see how far Democrats' altruism goes.

Mr. (Chuck) Pickett's recent column stated his preference for drones. He failed to make the distinction between killing terrorists and killing American citizens overseas. With this kind of power, what would stop an egotistical, power grabbing president like President Obama to kill suspected American terrorists in our country without due process? Did Mr. Pickett write letters of praise for President George W. Bush when terrorists were captured and waterboarded? Information we received led to the killing of Bin Laden.

The left screamed about enhanced interrogation methods applied to foreign terrorists under the Bush administration. I guess they don't mind killing American citizens without due process, with Obama solely having the power to do so, but we can't interrogate them. Who made Obama king? He has violated the Constitution in so many ways without a peep from the left. What a country!
